re: #283 Obdicut

In many ways, given the lack of guns in the US at the time of the American Revolution, the 2nd amendment can be seen as calling for increased armament, rather than recognizing an existing gun culture. A very small percentage of Colonial Americans owned a working weapon. It is nothing at all like modern weapon fetishiziation.

That’s probably true considering that food animals were probably not slaughtered by gunshot. Even wild game was usually trapped.
